You can tell Cheggers was a lovely man. I told him a cheesy joke on Twitter once and he took the time out to DM me saying it made him laugh. Such a sad loss
@@FreddieShreddieTV fuck!!! I was never interested in him before he was on extras ( when are game show hosts ever interesting .. ( escl8ding Micheal Barrymoore and John Leslie ) But I was impressed with him in this!! He was brutal with himself all so other people could have a laugh at his image ..
This series is utter genius. It tackles every single subject in life. It so poignant and beautiful but always done with the immense platform of humour . Completely outstanding x
In addition to be being hilarious, this is a legitimately amazing featurette. These are all well-respected and genuinely talented people offering insight into what it's like filming the absurd and how truly difficult it is! Also, it's a bloody riot. 🤣
I bet Ricky watched Cheggers Plays Pop on TV in the 70s too. I remember him on the Big Breakfast in the 90s. He was always so upbeat and likeable. It's great to see how well he and Ricky gel in this. "Cheggers Plays Cock" haha!
I love it when they laugh hysterically while breaking character especially when talking dirty. They are human beings after all. You know people would probably pay a moderate amount of money to see these kind of dirty outtakes in a complimation video sold on DVD.
Oh the worst thing about corpsing becomes the anticipation! After the first two times, you know the funny line or moment is coming up and you're practically dying laughing before you even get to it! It makes it so impossible. I've also tried the running around to kind of burn off the energy
I swear, the 3rd time he says, "Ivy restaurant", the head turn he does is downright attacking! XD It's like he's bloody throwing the words out his mouth at her, DEMANDING the laugh! Lmao, what a wit.
Extras really is exceptional. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves these days (it did at the time) just because it's overshadowed historically by Ricky and Stephen's preceding programme. The final episode of Extras is extraordinary.
Ian once said on Graham Norton how much fun he had on Extras, and how much he loved the script. In his words 'the laughs just fall out'. A lot of the time you laugh because youre expecting the line at any moment.
I think an upside to corpsing is whenever someone loses it because of one of the minor details that remind you of the absurdity of what you're doing, you can then re-do the line and emphasize what made the other actor laugh to make the scene funnier. Of course you then have to get through it without laughing eventually.
I'll never forget the day when a colleague and I were invited to attend the engineering apprentice's project presentations. So we're in this (what I would deem) overly formal presentation in this meeting room for this lad's shield project presentation. He's going through talking about the project management tools he used, the concept selection methods, Gantt charts etc. Then when he described the final design solution and talked through it, someone asked how much it would weigh, to which the lad replied "500 kilos." Will the second it left his lips and long before he could correct himself I snorted. Then all I could hear behind me was my friend trying his absolute hardest to stifle a laugh, which in turn made me want to burst out laughing. I can say the next five minutes were the hardest five minutes of a meeting I'd ever endured. It wasn't that funny, but it was just how it was such a facade meeting being taking so seriously, as if he was from BAE or Rheinmetall or something, then he tells us his personal shield system design weighed 500kg. Like why did he say 500? He couldn't have meant grams or lbs. What did he mean to say? 😂
In the US we have 'comedians' that breaking up during a scene, even a live show like SNL, (read Jimmy Fallon" who intentionally use it to steal scenes. A substitute for talent, but remember it's America.
Honestly, it probably is a little indulgent even if they don't want to do that. But I don't think anyone begrudges that unless they're just jealous. I mean, if I got to have a job where one of my biggest problems was not being able to stop laughing, I'd consider that a success.
As a 2nd AD, you cant imagine how annoying this is :) Just have to grin and bear it :) Take after take after take after take and the I reach hour 18 of my day :) See you in the morning after makeup to do your 1 hour of work :)
Hilarious. I've never acted but I actually have corpsed before whilst helping someone with a training presentation in front of a classroom. The other person was being marked on her presentation which made it worse. Bloody hilarious and awful at the same time.
I think, because it's "fake outtakes" it's just not doing it for me.. and I'm usually on the floor crying, holding my stomach because I hurt from laughing so much. This just isn't the same. 🤷
The inability to stop laughing is one of life's bittersweet pleasures!
well said. totally agree
Totally agree my man 😂 😆 😹 . . . . . . . !!!!!!!
Write that down; that's a quote for the ages!

Tell us the joke!
I’m went for a meeting with his brother once - he was a cool dude too

Keith was a friend, we knew him for years. Great chap, great sense of humour, so sad what happened. Still miss him…
I can imagine. He seemed like a truly decent man.
His nephew is in
People do Nothing.
A great sense of humour must run in the family 🎉😊
Watching bloopers is the quickest way for me to boost my mood. Ricky Gervais never fails to crack me up 😂
This series is utter genius. It tackles every single subject in life. It so poignant and beautiful but always done with the immense platform of humour . Completely outstanding x
Don’t like the forced bloopers though. It’s overkill.
When Ian McKellen says “bollocks” in that posh voice 😂😂
wizZARddd....
They mentioned this on the graham Norton show and now I’m crying laughing 😂 thanks tv thanks
The one with Kieth chegwin had me in stitches 😂I couldn’t have sat that close to him without laughing like Ricky either 😂
I swear, if i need a good laugh all i need to do is watch some Ricky Gervais or some of his bloopers.
In addition to be being hilarious, this is a legitimately amazing featurette. These are all well-respected and genuinely talented people offering insight into what it's like filming the absurd and how truly difficult it is! Also, it's a bloody riot. 🤣
Rest In Peace Keith Chegwin.
? what?
WHAT THE FCK CHEGGERS IS DEAD?????!!
@@EvilKris I didn't realise it either, apparently Cheggers died in 2017.

Pop knob in fanny.
Is he really? I didn't even know he was sick.
i like when stephen is in head is popping out the toilet cubercle and ricky turns around and bursts out laughing when he sees him.
I love it when they laugh hysterically while breaking character especially when talking dirty. They are human beings after all. You know people would probably pay a moderate amount of money to see these kind of dirty outtakes in a complimation video sold on DVD.
It is miraculous that they even get anything done
Imagine trying to get through a scene with Ricky Gervais. Same with Julia on Seinfeld. Love them both.
The bit he does with Liam Neeson on Life's too short is hilarious, I really don't know how they got through it 😜
Ricky Gervais is a genius of what he's created but his laugh could shatter 1000 windows
Aww,Keith Chegwin,still hard to believe 😥🙏🏼
He was hilarious in Extras!!
@@moulosify until he passed away.
Brilliant! My fav is Ian McKellan, so funny.
@Tom B Still waiting for an answer?
It's same thing for me at funerals
In other words greatest job ever. I'm so glad I had HBO and saw these as they were releasing each episode.
Some of the situations in extras are just so unbelievably silly I would be on the floor in tears trying to do these scenes
Cheggers absolute legend rip🙏🏻
Is he really? I didn't even know he was sick.
Ricky's laugh is brilliant!!
He sure did!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

7:44 - it's me going towards happiness and life, and then going back to my sadness because I'm too scared to live.
ricky's laugh cheer me right up after a bad day "morning canvirs per hahahahah!!!"

These are just hilarious! I adore Ricky and Stephen!
If you’re an aspiring actor and you see how corpsing affects even Sir Ian bloody Mckellan, it must be quite reassuring!
It's his show and he can keep paying overtime for all the actors and crew as long as he wants to
I think the wank blooper got funnier and funnier
RIP Keith Chegwin, keep forgetting he died 4 years ago
Ian once said on Graham Norton how much fun he had on Extras, and how much he loved the script. In his words 'the laughs just fall out'. A lot of the time you laugh because youre expecting the line at any moment.
Lisa Tarbuck is awesome
That laugh Ricky lets out at 2:23!

Pop knob in fanny 😂😂😂 that would’ve been so fucking hard !! 😂
I think it has to be …
Oh, you meant getting through the scene. 😂
this might be the funniest video on youtube
Extras is Britain’s answer to the skit show in SNL … far superior
Gervais's laugh is.....i dont know, sort of indescribable.
It's like a hyena being screwed
its like turning the volume button from low to Xtremly high...to the point of thier being broken glass
You avin' a laff ? Is ee avin' a laff ?
It sounds like super Mario on fire.
SEND FOR THE MAN!
RIP Cheggers.
This is amazing 😂
12:40 - Feel so bad for the extras in background, how many times they walk back and forth :D
Oh god yeah, walking back and forth
I love gervais laugh is like a stress relief lol lol lol! I just waiting every scence to hear that good healthy laugh
Can't believe it's actually Tarbuck. Legend that made Horne sit on a cake corpsing on a fake sticom
5:04 that's what she said

"Comedy.. is where the mind goes, to tickle itself. That's what she said."
5:16 that's what she said
Think he knew it as well
@@TheRuddster95 for sure that’s why it’s funny
We all corpsed at school, uncontrollably nervous laughter knowing you are in trouble 😂
I've been in hysteria. It can even get scary.
Bazza Mr merchant and Ricky...tbh is the perfect combination... Should of put pilkington in for a few... Fantastic
6:18 No the Balrog is crossing!!! Gandalf can’t focus.
"pop knob in fanny" you can hear the sound of his finger rubbing against his hand
How the fuck did they ever get anything shot this is hysterical 🤣
Stephen: *looks at camera and throws up hands* Do you see what I have to put up with?
Find someone who looks at you the way Stephen Merchant looks at Ricky Gervais
Extras was genius.
The more pressure one is under to keep a straight face, the more easily they can be made to laugh.
Imagine corpsing as an actor and having ricky doing that laugh 😅
Who else is here post their interview on Graham Norton 😂
I am!
So funny but what i looked most was clip from legendary Mckellen
One of my favourite human beings. FACT ……. !!!!!!!

just saw the art of breaking wind .
I’m going to the Ivy restaurant
06:19 Sir Ian and Ricky 🤣🤣🤣
Why can I no longer find the hospital scene “from womp I’ve heard …”
I wonder how Ricky ever gets anything done when he is in front of the camera!
Hope the crew gets paid per hour lol
I would have paid to be on that crew

Ricky Gervais has the most artificial laugh that I've ever heard. I think for him, it's a power game type thing.
That awful liquidy sound just after 4:46.

Pop knob…. In fanny.
The difference is Rick does it for attention.

How are these fake?
Ian Mckellens corpsing seems fake
Ricky Gervais does it purposely and there’s just too much of it. Annoying to watch, in fact I can’t watch it!
Why then, would you click on to a video depicting the very thing you claim you can't watch? Jesus.
